16 Former Stars Who Have Totally Different Jobs Now

Getting a job in Hollywood can be a dream come true for so many people no matter where they come from. But, it can also be something that people want to leave behind since it comes with a lot of publicity. And people like MC Hammer, Macaulay Culkin, and Angus T. Jones made the conscious decision to get more regular jobs. People still care about them and how they’re doing, but they are not chasing after them 24/7.
